just sorting out my fishing stuff, and came across an okuma sting ray reel, 5 340, gears 4.1 does anyone know anything about this reel, is it any good, what type of fishing is it good for, maybe just the dustbin.
any pics?
i could take pics and email them, dont know how to post on site.
email to me and i'll upload them for you on this thread....... robby017@hotmail.com
a stingray 340 is a 3 BB reel still in production to date and was a great success to tho okuma company.
ideal for pier fishing will still give you years of great moments with little maintenance.

thanks for relpy, guess i have to learn about drag, etc, now.
all u have to do is ask Mike u know that and I am sure that Okuma will give u a hand if not well there are lots of guys here to do that........
thanks tony, i have lost the box etc so i will be asking questions, thanks again.
reel looks great mike..... will upload pics later for u... that reel in malta would be good for squid fishing, bottom fishing in harbours and also light spinning.... seems to be in great shape though
okuma sting ray reel, 5 340, gears 4.1 ----> Pics :)
does anyone know the address of okuma, or a web site, i need a spare spool, everytime i try the web it comes up address invalid,
mike there is an okuma representative here in Malta.....if you go to 'ta Bormla' at Mosta, he sells okuma reels and he will contact the okuma representative to get u a new reel.
Okuma Rells are represented by a guy named Norbert, I beleive he resides in Zejtun. Any abody wishes his number, I think i can obtain it
he used to live at Zejtun i believe he moved
I believe the best contact point is via Ta'Bormla
ta bormla gets okuma reels and he also is a very nice and helpfull chap!! give him a call and try your luck ;)

Someone mentioned ta bormla in mosta so l went there on saturday to see for a second rod. Bought a Mitchell rod 1.71 50/80lb and a okuma titus 20L . Two lures and 60 line. It the first time i ve been their and prices are good and their service is honest. They also give 2 years Gtee on both the rod and reel.I already have a classic okuma 300l on the other rod and found it good. This titus is with lever drag etc and look pretty sound and solid. Hope it brings luck ;D ;D

good thing that u sorted everything out. Apart from being good reels the okuma rep is very down to earth and does his best to help. I think he also now represents Penn so thats good news for penn owners.............
There's the elusive Penn from USA at last.
you'll see some good stuff this summer.
All comes with a 2 year guarantee.
Ta' Bormla stores in Mosta with the full range shortly.............
I just bought a few pairs of gloves for grabbing fish as well as braided line. They are very well made and by Mitchell, a good brand name. Busu tried them out on braided line as we got stuck a few times and they performed excellently.
Any one tell me where I found this shop? Ta Bormla Stores Mosta?
Yes Takinu - It's in Mosta - Further up from the church going towards st. paul's bay on the left hand side of the road. The shop is in a corner.
Thanks Benri for your help
the penn (USA are here) I saw one at ta Bormla and to tell u the truth it is WOW 2speed mmmmmmmm
I am still an Okuma guy but I like the Penn that I saw.........
if you know where hsbc is, it's a couple of blocks up ;)
Ta Bormla is a good shop, I buy most of the stuff from there. They are very well equipped and their prices are ok. Besides he is a very nice guy.
I just bought my first okuma, the zeon zn 80 and I must say that i'm quite impressed.. and good value for money... The chap is very helpful also... :)
